Annual Turkey Drive for JFS

Sunday, Nov 24th 9:00a to 12:00pThe need for turkey donations is great this year, as there are so many in our community who risk going without a holiday meal. Thanks to your generosity last year, we were able to feed all of the JFS families! This year we know we need 275 frozen turkeys (155 non-kosher and 120 kosher) to feed the families who need our help. Please bring your frozen turkeys (kosher or non-kosher), pop your trunks and one of our volunteers will be there to assist you. Bags of side dish ingredients will be available at the Crown Market, with the Rosenberg Toro families matching all bag donations! If you cannot bring a turkey or side dish donation bag, a cash or check donation (made payable to Jewish Family Services with "food pantry" in the memo line) is also very much appreciated. This event will take place rain or shine!
